The authority on woody plant propagation,

This review is from: The Reference Manual of Woody Plant Propagation: From Seed to Tissue Culture : A Practical Working Guide to the Propagation of over 1100 Species, Va (Paperback)
This book is considered an industry standard by most. Nothing else published contains as much information about woody plant propagation. A must buy reference for any plant propagator.

Michael Dirr is the Absolute Expert in Plant Propagation,
By John G. Szabo (Kenner, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Reference Manual of Woody Plant Propagation: From Seed to Tissue Culture : A Practical Working Guide to the Propagation of over 1100 Species, Va (Paperback)
Dirr has done all the research and you reap all the rewards. His conclusions are backed up by many scientific studies by various individuals and groups. The first part gives a summary of the diferent propagation methods and the second part has very detailed data on specific species. I save hundreds of dollars each year by propagating by own southern magnolias, red tip photinas, and navel oranges. This is, by far, the best book on propagation out there!!

By PETER S. NOVAK (usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Reference Manual of Woody Plant Propagation: From Seed to Tissue Culture : A Practical Working Guide to the Propagation of over 1100 Species, Va (Paperback)
This is by far the best book out there on this subject. I have bought all the books on this subject and none can compare to this one. If you only want to buy one book on this subject this is the one.
